Version: 2.1.0 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.0.99 (4.1 RC1+)) "release 10.2", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_10.3) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22.18-0.2-default trying to display and select rpm's only on http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/UNSTABLE/openSUSE_10.3/x86_64/ is very difficult - the file names include the path - IMHO not always necessary - one has to click in the checkbox to select a file - the name of the file is far away - it should be possible to select a file by clicking on the file name (as before)

In 3.x you could for example sort by file type, select the first element of a given type, hold shift (to enable multi-selection) and then select the last element of that file type. Extending that selection with other elements was also possible (as usual with multi-selection). Cheers, Carsten
I agree with Carstens comment current workaround - Select all + filter not wanted and deselect filtered a bit awkward though
Usabilty experts suggested to add checkboxes in the item view (see: http://reviews.holehan.org/KGet/LinksList). The issue is that (AFAIK) item views with checkboxes only support item selections with double click. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

For selecting single files, I would agree that checkboxes are nicer, but the whole idea of the "list all links" feature is that you select a whole batch of files at once, so that you don't have to click all links manually... > The issue is that (AFAIK) item > views with checkboxes only support item selections with double click. A compromise would be to keep the checkboxes, but still allow multi-selection. Then only an action "check selected" and possible "uncheck selected" would be needed. What do you think? Cheers, Carsten
the common way for multi selection (dolphin) (CTRL+LMB) for multiple single lines and (Shift+LMB) for ranges should be implemented here. the checkboxes are a nice feature, but IMHO should be also activated by single click on a file - like many other checkboxes which are activated by clicking on the associated text. (again dolphin configure ...)

This would automatically work when activating multi-selection for the view (as it worked in 3.x). > the checkboxes are a nice feature, but IMHO should be also activated by > single click on a file - like many other checkboxes which are activated by > clicking on the associated text. (again dolphin configure ...) Mixing selection (highlighted) and checking (click on the check-mark-square) would be confusing, I'm afraid. Selecting a single file would both select and check? Selecting a range of files with Shift would select all, but check only the first and last (those that were actually clicked)? What about selecting with the keyboard? Better keep selection and checking distinct and provide a separate action to [un]check the selection. Cheers, Carsten
IMHO reuse technology used in dolphin to select/open files - it will/should be common knowledge
